Thanks a lot for the compliment.

As far as the guage pod goes, beings how they do not make one for the 2003 I simply improvised. I took an Autometer pod cut it down on either end about 4 inches. Then I removed the stock A pillar cover, removed the factory vinyl and used epoxy to attach the pod to the A pillar cover. I then used body filler and sand paper to smoothe the edges, Drilled holes for the guage wiring and bought some high quality vinyl covering. I took it to a high end upolstery shop and had them cover it. Does it match perfectly? No, but it does have a more factory look to it and is certainly better than black molded plastic. I Think.

Here are some pics, probably not the best to truly see it but maybe they will help if you are looking for and alternative.

Take Care.
